Samco Hose Rubbing - oo er

[Graham]

Also i got a new bit of pipe for the hose which comes off the tubine housing, a little bit longer and routed it the opposite side of the intake pipe (round the front of the pipe) and turned the WGFV 90 degrees and the cover for the headlight slots in nicely behind it.

Just had a quick check on mine which was the prototype car. No rubbing at any time - clears all of the 'headlight cover plastic' by 5mm+.

I do keep the hose butted up as far as I can on the MAF which may help.

Mine doesn't meet the MAF properly as the end isn't cut off square. It's more of a wavy line than a straight cut.

I don't think my photos illustrate it clearly , but, the hose that meets my MAF is slightly bellowed where it bends down,. Itis maybe a little stretched where it meets the MAF.I also recall the WGFV being a tight fit.Mind you with a bit of fiddling they do fit -and have no leaks

I had to cut the end of the MAF to turbo hose shorter where it connects to the turbo inlet,otherwise it was pushed hard up against the headlight cover and also would not easily reach the MAF!

I just purchased an unused 3B samco set from Erikb.

I have to say MAF to turbo hose is pure crap. Its dimensions are way out and after some cutting it is still rubbing. Also the breather pipe connection is about an inch too high and that caused major problems too. Disapointment

Turbo to IC hose and TB hose are the only ones that really fit nicely as they should.

Another thread about the same thing (although on the ABY hoses) here
Ck.

Right. I've read that also but didn't find it with forum search.

Paul stated there that the section on the turbo connection is made too long. It really is way too long but cutting it shorter won't add enough clearance. It actually just makes it harder with the breather issue.

You too,

i also have the same issues as above, it took 2 of us to fit this hose(1 holding hose
and maf together 1 doing up clip)

and to add to it all my turbo to intercooler hose appears to be only 2 ply (looks/feels
very flimsy)

Dose anybody no where s2central is as i have sent afew pm now with no responce
